Previously on Wheel of Fortune, Mike Martin won the match with $23,000 in cash and a trip to Hawaii while Faith Beisel couldn't get anything going and got stuck with the $1,000 consolation. However, Mike would see $38,000 getting lost in A CROWDED BOULEVARD (Place, PHGO). Now I have been spoiled on this episode's outcome because someone by the name of Ismael Gomez has a habit on spilling the beans on rather NASTY results...oops! Did I spoil that for you? Anyway, if you are Ismael Gomez, stop doing this. It ruins the fun.
